3 week checkup today.......

I lost another 11 lbs ! that is a total of 25lbs since surgery ! WOO HOO  I am really happy with that number and can't wait to see more come off ! I feel great. Dr took me off restriction so I can start exercising now. Also started me on all my vitamins which I can't wait because I think they will help give me more energy that I need. Also moved me to Stage 3 foods.... so big question? Any stage 3 recipes out there? or ideas for different meals/food etc ? I want to keep things different so I don't get in a rut and fall off the wagon ! Hope everyone is doing well. ~~Rona 04/30/2007 Lap RNY Dr. Nizzi 237 pre-op/ 213 current/ 145 goal

Oh, you go girl! So happy for you! Lexia

Way to go Rona.  I don't know what your stage 3 foods are but I think mine was soft food like deli turkey, mashed potatoes, a little bit of ground chicken.  I was so glad to see that because I was so sick of soup.

Rona, you are doing great! I can't even remember what stage 3 was....I guess that goes to show you that after a year you will eat like a "normal" person again.  I made a gravy from 2T Smart Balance spread, 2T whole wheat flour, make a roux out of that, then whisked in 1 1/2 c low sodium chicken stock and a teaspoon poultry seasoning to make "gravy".  That was good to have a spoonful of on deli turkey.  It made it taste better and a little goes a long way.

You are doing great. I am so proud of you. Keep up the great work.

Wow You are doing really great!! good luck with exercising feels great!! also what type of recipes do u need??

WTG!!  Wow....25 pounds since surgery in 3 weeks. That is awesome. I know I didn't lose very fast....It turns out my thyroid wasn't working very well.....well not at all!! I am back on thyroid meds and it's starting to come off! I could kick myself for not taking them. But I was feeling very good, not tired at all and thought that with weight loss...thyroid would start working...NOT.  Keep up the good work!!

Yea Rona!!! Way to go!  The vitamins will make you feel better. I have lots more energy now. Did you go to the support meeting?  How was it? Keep up the good work! Joni
